Day 2 Coverage and Results

Drag Week Day number two rolled in at Great Bend raceway, the site of the Hot Rod founder Wally Parks' very first NHRA Nationals in 1955. Now, 56 years later, the park is hosting around 160 racers as Drag Week conquers even more cars, down from 177 initial participants. The Unlimited guys were up and down as the track got better as the day progressed. Larry Larson laid down the fastest time with a 7.174 @ 203.37mph. Trying to find sixes, Larry made a couple more passes but couldn't clock anything faster. The rest of the guys had worse luck as Joe Barry in his '56 Chevy had a broken transmission and Jeff Lutz in the Project Sick Seconds Camaro, broke and is now out of the running. As the sun glares harder the week goes on... on to Armadillo Texas.
